what we treat?

Theoretically, Acupuncture does not treat any disease, we insert stainless steel needle into the body and remove it after minutes, through it into recycle box. There is nothing left in the body? How does Acupuncture needle treat disease?

Traditional Chinese Medicine thoughts Acupuncture is the technique which send stimulation signal into the body via special Acu-points. In order to promote the body self-healing system, and curing diseases after enhanced abilities of body self-healing system. From this point of view, we understand all diseases which can be cured after body self-healing ability is the treatment area of Acupuncture. Otherwise we need surgery, medicine or other therapies help.

General speaking Acupuncture is known to treat a wide range of disorders including:
Neurological conditions: headaches, migraines, difficulty sleeping, nervous tension, stroke, some forms of deafness, facial and inter-costal neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, some forms of paralysis, sequelae of poliomyelitis, peripheral neuropathy, noises in the ears, dizziness, and Meniere’s disease.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized the use of acupuncture to
treat a wide variety of conditions. The National Institute of Health (NIH) conducted its
own research and concurred on the list developed by the WHO and added that
acupuncture was effective in the treatment of asthma. The report which is dated today
was written in 1997 and stated: “There is sufficient evidence of acupuncture’s value to
expand its use into conventional medicine and to encourage further studies of its
physiology and clinical value.” (NIH 1997 Report p.19).

Q. What does Acupuncture actually do?
A. The National Institute of Health conducted a scientific review in 1997 and conducted
through the review of random controlled clinical trials that acupuncture has the following
biological effects on the body:
• Acupuncture releases endorphins, substances which inhibit pain
• Acupuncture regulates the endocrine functions in the body
• Acupuncture increases the circulation
• Acupuncture enhances the body’s immune function
In addition, two key points were presented within this report: a comparison between
acupuncture and conventional western medicine was made: “One of the advantages of
acupuncture is that the incidence of adverse effects is substantially lower than of many
drugs or other accepted medical procedures used for the same conditions. (NIH p.9),
and the panel of experts concluded that acupuncture has much to offer in today’s
medical treatment model: “There is sufficient evidence of acupuncture’s value to expand
its use into conventional medicine and to encourage further studies of its physiology and
clinical value.” (NIH 1997 Report p.19).
